He was raised a Protestant. She was Jewish. They were both clinical psychologists, convinced that human reason could explain everything and eventually resolve every issue. But when their relationship began to fall apart, a miraculous vision became the beginning of a pilgrimage that would lead these two non-believers into a deep and lasting relationship with each other-and with Jesus Christ. Finding God, Finding Each Other is the story of how God intervened miraculously to transform them and helped them create a loving and lasting marriage relationship. This love story not only chronicles the spiritual journeys of Linda and Vincent Ruhl, but also reveals biblical principles of individual character change, relational transformation, and how a broken marriage relationship can be redeemed and made whole.
I went to school and played high school football with Dr. Ruhl. He sent me this book out of the blue as we had not seen each other for many years. Strangely enough, it arrived at a difficult time for me. I took an afternoon off and read the book. This is not a panagyric or metaphysical homage though the inspiration for "finding each other" was communion with Jesus. Instead, the spiritual messages the author and his wife experienced were simple truths, basic guidelines that have illuminated a path the couple have since taken, an illumination, one suspects, would ever after guide them whenever that path came to a fork and another choice had to be made. The author's honesty, self-examination and acceptance of responsibility in the hardships he and his wife faced, make the book an informative read and one that enables the reader to easily identify with the situations, be they arguements, interaction with kids, job interviews and, even, happiness. Dr. Ruhl (Vinnie to me) was a helluva lineman and saved me from a lot of sacks but he's an even better writer.

For those who believe that marriages can't be saved after tragedy, this book proves not only that they can be, but that life can be even better through the power of a committed relationship with God. A truly remarkable story and one that the reader will never forget. Awe inspiring. I feel very fortunate to have read this.
